3. Follow the installation wizard to install Roundcube.

Step 2: Configure Roundcube

1. After installation, you'll find the Roundcube configuration file (roundcube.php) in the Roundcube installation directory (usually /usr/local/roundcube).

2. Log in to Roundcube using your Gandi email account credentials (e.g., [yourname]@yourdomain.com and your password).

Tips and Variations:

• If you're using a Gandi hosting plan with a custom domain, you may need to update the Roundcube configuration file to reflect the custom domain.
• If you're using a Gandi hosting plan with a subdomain, you may need to update the Roundcube configuration file to reflect the subdomain.
